The Google Clips Camera has Features that Some Might Find Disturbing

Big Brother is watching you

Google is no stranger to pushing the limits and thinking outside the box. It is a business strategy like this which has helped it become one of the biggest companies on the planet. While some innovations have been fantastic (Google Home), some have been not so great (Google Glass).

The disturbing thing about Google Clips is that it decides moments, based on it’s AI and what it can see, times to take pictures of record short videos. What determines this factor is unclear, however, I doubt many people would be comfortable with the thought of something which randomly records or photographs you.

In a report via the BBC, the intent of this is not creepy. The idea is that the camera will catch you, or your family, at moments when you are relaxed.

There are also obvious caveats to this, for example, there are very few sofas in the country which haven’t utilised for purposes other than sitting if you know what I mean. You certainly wouldn’t fancy having that memory kept as a treasured 6-second video.

What do you think? Google Clips, cool or creepy? Let us know in the comments!
